Clinical Service

-
My work in our private practice as well as other clinical settings have afforded me the ability to build on successes and learn from challenges. My patients benefit from my teaching abilities and I empower and guide them through choices and treatments that affect their health and well-being.

Mentoring Medical Students & Residents

-
Providing an avenue for the learner to gain experience and grow in knowledge, skills and confidence by actively participating in patient-care in the clinic, the operating room and at the bedside. Through research and training I am proficient in mentoring various levels of learners from medical students to residents and junior faculty members.
